Metromasti/TOI: Touf time for SK as Ashu

Mohnish Behl, who had managed to make an impression in Kuch Toh Log Lahenge (KTLK), opted out of the serial. The channel opted forSharad Kelkar to take his place.

It's been two weeks since this change has been implemented, and though Sharad maybe doing a decent job of it, it's taking time for the audience to accept him as Dr. Ashutosh. Most people thought that Behl and Kritika Kamra (who plays Dr. Nidhi in the serial) made for a lovely couple and shared good chemistry. Living up to that standard seems to be a mean feat for Sharad, who is a popular TV actor himself.

The producers of the serial always knew it was going to be a tough job to get the audiences to accept the change, however, they are confident that given some more time, it won't matter too much.

Sudha Ashar, a housewife who religiously follows the serial says, "Mohnish Behl brought a little more maturity to the character. I enjoyed watching him and Dr. Nidhi together. They made a good pair. Yes, I feel something is missing now, but I still watch the serial."

Jyoti Suri, a fan of Sharad Kelkar's says, "I've enjoy watching him. I'll give him some time to settle down. Yes Mohnish Behl was good, but I don't think Sharad Kelkar as Dr. Ashutosh is bad at all. If Mohnish Behl was to replace Sharad Kelkar the audience would've felt as awkward. It's the situation and not the actor that makes such changes a little shocking and unwelcome."
